Between conservation and commodities: Does Peruvian tropical forest conservation challenge or reinforce extractivism
Despite Peru's adherence to economic and environmental policy guidance from multilateral institutions like the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and United Nations agencies, deforestation in the Amazon region has remained stubbornly high. While recent scholarship has shown prevailing conservation policy programs in the Peruvian Amazon to be largely ineffective, there is little analysis of why Peru's conservation and development program…
Enriching Carbon: Surplus Value Creation and Capture on the Voluntary Carbon Markets
This article examines the creation and capture of surplus value in the voluntary carbon markets to show the importance of narratives and networks in justifying price. Rather than a push towards commensurability in carbon markets, it points to the emergence of profitable business models based on the enrichment of credits. Enrichment focuses not on processes of standardisation associated with commodity production, but on the creation of difference,…
Sustainable Development Frontiers: Is 'Sustainable' Cocoa Delivering Development and Reducing Deforestation
Forest frontiers are important areas for sustainable development as they combine the need to halt deforestation with the challenges of rural poverty. In the region of San Martín, Peru, the 'Production, Protection and Inclusion' model combines narratives of conservation, economic development and social inclusion in what can be defined as a 'sustainable development frontier'. This article asks how such sustainable development frontiers change socia…
Producing nature-based solutions: Infrastructural nature and agrarian change in San Martín, Peru
The concept of 'nature-based solutions' has brought together a broad range of actors with seemingly diverse goals. This article, contributing to the forum on climate change and agrarian struggles, argues that these nature-based solutions follow a growing trend to frame the natural world as infrastructure, providing an ethnographic case study of agroforestry and reforestation projects in San Martín, Peru. It shows that as infrastructural nature cl…
The Development and Growth of Non-Governmental Conservation in Peru: Privately and Communally Protected Areas
While legislation for the creation of protected areas in Peru has existed since the 1960s, legislation relating to privately and/or communally protected areas (PCPAs) dates only to the early 2000s, from which point the number of PCPAs has grown rapidly. We examine the growth of PCPAs in Peru, the laws key to their creation, and the actors who have shaped them, highlighting where national-level data obscures local dynamics that have driven or sust…
